Excavation in Booneville, MS

November 20, 2025

Excavation around Booneville takes much more effort than you think. In this part of Mississippi, land has personality with hills that hold on to water a little too well, pockets of stubborn clay, tree roots with long memories, and slopes shaped by storms, not blueprints. 


Good excavation is what makes a property usable, safe, and ready for whatever you’re trying to build or reclaim. It’s the quiet beginning beneath every project, driveways that won’t buckle after one hard rain, barn pads that sit level for decades, future home sites that drain instead of drowning.


People here call for excavation for all kinds of reasons, including opening up land that’s been ignored for years, reshaping a troublesome acre into something workable, correcting erosion that’s been slowly eating away at a hillside, or prepping ground for a new structure. Sometimes it’s practical, like fixing the way water moves across a property. Sometimes it’s generational.


Precision is the part that too many overlook. Removing earth is easy. Shaping it in a way that supports a future, whether foundation, pasture, driveway, or drainage, is a different skill altogether. The contours you create today dictate how water, roots, soil, and structures behave tomorrow. 


That’s why landowners lean toward specialists who know the region’s soil, the way the rain falls here, and how to work with the natural lay instead of fighting it. Nunnelee Forestry Mulching and Land Management is one of those local crews that approach excavation with intention. Our work blends heavy equipment skill with a grounded understanding of how Northeast Mississippi’s land holds shape.

About - Booneville, MS

Booneville sits in the rolling hills of North Mississippi, carrying the nickname “City of Hospitality” with an ease that feels earned rather than advertised. Its magnolia emblem, on the city flag and welcome signs, echoes that soft, familiar Southern warmth. The town’s roots run dee. The land was purchased from Chickasaw tribesman Le-Ho-Yea, laid out in the 1840s as the Mobile and Ohio Railroad took shape, and named for Colonel Reuben Holman Boone, a relative of Daniel Boone.

Booneville grew quickly, then found itself pulled into Civil War turbulence as the railroad became a strategic target. Today, the city feels steadier, anchored by Northeast Mississippi Community College and surrounded by small-town simplicity, railroad heritage preserved at the Rails & Trails Museum and families gathering at Westside City Park.
